Breast Augmentation

If you lack a pleasing breast profile and are looking for a long-term solution, you can consider breast augmentation or breast augmentation surgery. breast augmentation is also referred to as “boob job” or ‘breast aug’ by the patients. Medically the procedure is termed as ‘augmentation mammoplasty’. It is a cosmetic surgery to increase the breast size and create symmetry

Breast Argumentation Surgeries

Often women have a breast reduction procedure to alleviate the physical or psychological stress and strain that their large breasts are imposing on their body. Large heavy breasts may cause back and neck pain, rashes and sweating under the breasts, as well as poor posture, all of which are often all resolved with smaller breasts following this procedure.

• Fat transfer mammoplasty: When fat from another part of the body is used to add fullness to the breast it is known as fat transfer mammoplasty. It may be done through liposuction or injections. The fat is usually removed from abdomen, hips, and thighs. The fat cells are injected after preparation and refinement into the breasts. This method is less conventional, and research is still going on to know its effectiveness and safety.
• Breast Implantation: In this procedure breast implant is placed under the chest muscles or breast tissue.

Types of Breast Implant

• Saline breast implant: As the name suggests saline water implants are sterile water-filled implants. If the shell of implant leaks the implant will collapse, and the body absorbs and expels the saline naturally. This type of implant offers uniform shape and firmness. This is mainly available in the US and FDA approves them for the females above 18 years of age.
• Structured saline breast implants: These implants are not just filled with sterile saline water but also have an internal structure that holds the implant in a better way in comparison to saline breast implants.
• Silicone breast implants:These are cohesive silicone gel-filled breast implants that render a more natural look to your breast. They are elastic and soft. If the implant leaks, it does not collapse, and the gel remains within the shell of the implant or escapes and get collected in the breast implant pocket. FDA has approved silicone breast implants since 2001.
• Textured breast implantThis type of implant develops a scar tissue so that the implant sticks, becomes repositioned and moves less. It diminishes the tight scar capsule risk.
• Smooth breast implant: These are soft breast implants, and they move with breast to render a natural look.
• Gummy bear breast implant: Gummy bear breast implants are form-stable implants filled with cohesive gel. They maintain the shape even after the shell is broken. The silicone gel present inside it is thick in consistency. In comparison to traditional implants, it is firmer.
• Round Breast ImplantsAs round breast implant have all over the same shape, it gives the breast a fuller appearance in comparison to form-stable implants.
